Still thinking about last week’s Youth Success Summit!

It was great to see so many people from across our city come together, connect, collaborate, and share ideas about how we can continue improving the lives of our young people.

Here’s a quick look back at a great day of conversation, connection, and community. The work continues! Youth Success Summit

We’re excited to announce our final Change Maker Award recipients, Officer Ron Massengill and Officer Laymon Carter!

These two Akron police officers have chosen to serve beyond the badge, investing in young people through mentoring programs that build relationships, create positive opportunities, and help prevent violence before it begins.

Their commitment is a powerful reminder that real change happens when we show up, build trust, and invest in the next generation.

Join us as we celebrate Officer Massengill, Officer Carter, and all of this year’s honorees at the Love Akron Annual Awards Event on September 29!

We’re excited to announce our Allies Award recipients, Pastor Becky Evanoff and Pastor Jim Steingass!

Their partnership helped give rise to The Verge, bringing Methodist, Lutheran, and Nepali youth together across congregational and cultural lines to build relationships, deepen their faith, and discover what’s possible when we choose to belong to one another.

Through the partnership of Northampton United Methodist Church and St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Becky and Jim are showing what it looks like to build bridges, create belonging, and live out love across our community.

Join us in celebrating Pastor Becky Evanoff and Pastor Jim Steingass as our 2026 Allies Award recipients!

What a great day of learning, connection, and collective action at the 2026 Youth Success Summit! 🙌

We were grateful to be part of today’s gathering at the Akron-Summit County Public Library, bringing together people and organizations committed to creating more opportunities and resources for young people across our community.

A special shoutout to Ethan and Kemp, who did an incredible job leading their sessions! 👏 It was also great connecting with friends and community partners like First Glance, Red Oak, Akron Sneaker Academy, and so many others doing meaningful work throughout Greater Akron.

Days like today remind us that none of us does this work alone. When we share resources, build relationships, and work together, our entire community gets stronger. ❤️

Thank you, Youth Success Summit, for creating space to connect, learn, and move from community to collective action!
